Aspiration is the King & Empowerments
SI Canada is delighted to announce that Rinpoche will teach and give empowerments in Vancouver in January 2024.
ASPIRATION IS THE KING: Teaching on Samantabhadra’s King of Aspiration Prayers (Ārya-Bhadracaryā-Praṇidhāna-Rāja)
The “King of Aspiration Prayers” is a Mahayana Buddhist text where practitioners vow to emulate the bodhisattva Samantabhadra’s path to enlightenment, committing to universal compassion, ethical perfection and the welfare of all beings. Its recitation aims to purify karma and cultivate the virtues necessary for spiritual awakening.
